about
me
For the last 20 years I've worked with thousands of creators and builders globally to use emerging technology and the arts as tools for community sovereignty and sustainability.
I partner with companies, founders and artists to develop and execute on vision, launch projects, foster community, and design strategic communications and visions.
Highlights:
- As first hire or cofounder, I have scaled teams, developed and executed on vision, established operations and lead community and programs.
- I am an expert convener, adept at creating space for groups to gather, build culture, sustainably grow, learn, communicate and develop community bonds.
- Through my close involvement with 50+ of Seed Club's founder teams, I have experience designing business models, governance, token design and community strategy.
- I have served on the boards of Ampled, a music platform cooperative, the Exit to Community Collective, the Boston Teachers Union School, and the Boston Center for Community Ownership, with over 20 years in community governance.
- I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on best practices from education, community organizing, music business and crypto.
- My speaking engagements include the MIT-Forbes Imagination in Action at the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos, Consensus, Mainnet, and the Unclaimed Royalties Symposium at the U.S. Library of Congress.
Passions:
I am energized by the pace and spirit of early stage startups, and am eager to lean in and support founding teams by providing consistency, organization and effective execution. I love to form authentic relationships, and highly value the network I have built over the last eight years working at the intersection of crypto and culture. I draw inspiration from my diverse interests and backgrounds: data privacy, music subcultures, slow food and fashion, women's health, ecology and fiber arts. I deeply believe that communities and creatives should own and benefit from the value they create on the internet and beyond, and know that technology will play an integral role in this revolution.
